Where to shop for one-of-a-kind gifts?

I was breathing in the quietness of the barns yesterday morning… happy not to be knee deep in the chaos that so many Black Friday shoppers find joyful.

I don’t do a lot of holiday shopping and if I don’t make gifts myself (because it’s the thought that counts), I try to do as much as possible at specialty shops. I love Ten Thousand Villagesin Stuyvesant Plaza, and I always find some wonderful locally crafted items at Bella Fleur in Altamont.

Can you share some other fun and interesting places to shop locally, or in nearby towns? Thanks!
